Yah. I mean, k8s has 1000s of features. I am not using every one of them. I carved out the subset I need, and it is FANTASTIC. I get * Great rolling deploys

Yah. I mean, k8s has 1000s of features. I am not using every one of them. I carved out the subset I need, and it is FANTASTIC. I get * Great rolling deploys * Self healing clusters * Resource sharing / bin packing (rather than have 20 half used servers, I can have 6 much more heavily utilized servers) I could maybe frankenstein these features on top of something else.. but frankly it seems absurd. If these are the only 3 features I use to run docker pods, k8s is a HUGE win to me.
